Now - girls - serious questions - WiiFit. Santa is bringing kids a big 10ft trampoline and DH & I are getting a Wii (so my son DS1 doesn't think it is HIS so he can play it all day long ) - both will help me get through the school holidays with everyone at home! But, I wanna get some use too - alot of you have referred to WiiFit - is it really that good, and DO YOU USE IT?? If you do, what for - what is the best part etc? I know there is a thread in gaming, but I feel like I kinda know you girls and trust your opinions [/QUOTE]
I absolutely lurrrrrrrrrvvveee my wii fit. I cannot get out of the house to exercise. Gyms are expensive and with DH away so often its not possible with young kids. Going for a good walk pushing pram doesn't work for me either as one child has to walk (read: dawdle) or I have to push all three with the youngest two on top of each other (not very safe and bl**dy hard work!) Half an hour at least a day on the wii you should be able to find. Just tell everyone to get away from you as you're doing your exercise for the day. I have to stop midway through some days to feed/settle Loralei but get back to it again. From what I've seen with the games we have so far, they're all quite physical and you work up a sweat playing them so as far as I'm concerned its more of fitness machine than entertainment. But, that's just my two bobs worth and others are bound to have different opinions. HTH
Kuraiza - sorry to hear you are having such a rough time with Jude. I was going to ask if you had joined a mothers group but just read that you did but haven't had luck making it there. I highly recommend going, maybe join the next one? I had so many issues when I first became a mother and the support and friendship I received from the women I met in mothers group was invaluable. I wasn't the only one sleep deprived, not knowing if I was doing the right things with my baby, not the only one with slight bladder leakage when I sneezed, not the only one not sure if my baby was feeding enough, sleeping enough etc etc... what knowledge I gained from all those mothers and my sanity was restored to a certain degree. Being a parent is a tough job and its mostly guesswork.
Hollye - I hope your photos turn out beautifully regardless of crabby Mia.
Itsme (Tanya) - Woo hoo to you going to the pub with Maya! I went to a plant nursery today and met up with other mums. There is a fenced in playground and a cafe with nice coffe & cake so adults can talk and kids can play, it was great!
Sorry, no time for more personals, girls need to go to bed etc.
